The Albanian government has plans to deploy troops to Iraq as part of the counter-Islamic State efforts, the Albanian Defense Minister announced on Monday: “We are talking about a voluntary mission in which Albania has helped already in different ways, but not with a military presence”, the Albanian Defense Minister Mimi Kodheli said, being quoted by Balkans Insight. The initiative is reportedly in response to a request by the Trump administration to assist the global anti-ISIS coalition. “We are going to bring to parliament very soon a draft law to open the way to the presence of [Albanian] soldiers in the global coalition against ISIS”, Kodheli said.
